About

Satya advises leading Belgian and international businesses on the full spectrum of individual and collective employment law, with a particular focus on complex, cross-border projects. He supports clients through high-stakes matters including executive hiring and termination, individual and mass dismissals, internal investigations, litigation and arbitration, workforce reorganisations, employee transfers, and M&A transactions, from due diligence to post-deal integration.

Satya is especially active in advising on the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace, helping clients navigate the legal and ethical implications of emerging technologies. He also brings deep expertise in data and tech-related issues with a focus on employment, including employee monitoring, social media use, cross-border data transfers, GDPR compliance, data breaches, and the evolving European digital framework, notably the AI Act and cybersecurity regulations.
